------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Nov 11 22:50:22 +0000 2009 ------- For me the the resolution both of the body of an OO document, and of the controls (such as the sheet labels in Calc) depends on what display I am using when I start OpenOffice. I use a MacBook 15", I have an external 22" (56cm) 1680x1050 display. If I start OpenOffice with the MacBook's built-in display, 100% zoom looks fine, and the "decorations" like the sheet labels and status bar are easily readable. This is on Mac OS 10.5.8, updated as of 11/11/2009. When I start OpenOffice with only the external display (MacBook is closed, and I use an external keyboard), 100% zoom is unreadable (small), and the decorations are also unreadable. I can zoom up the body text, but I have no way to change the small labels. I suspect that OO is mis-reading the screen resolution, and making an incorrect adjustment for displaying fonts. The workaround is to open up the MacBook, disable the external display, restart OpenOffice, put the MacBook to sleep, and awaken it to use the external display. I don't see how to disable and enable the built-in display without sleep or shutdown. This is a very awkward workaround, and the procedure must be repeated if OpenOffice exits for any reason. This is a different use case than the one described in http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi? id=98581 as it does not depend on changing the resolution of the current screen. There may be a similar root cause, but both scenarios should be tested. thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
